Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is very informative and knowledgeable. He has my best interest in mind.

Dr. Nelson was a literal "lifesaver" for my father-in-law. He has taken care of him now for the last 4 years and he has remained cancer free! We have been very happy with the care from all of the physicians and staff of Western WI Urology. We would highly recommend this clinic.

Dr. Nelson made a family member wait more than a month to get relief from a massive kidney stone. Its horrible to leave someone in that kind of pain for that long. :( There was even talk of one of the options being removing a kidney. That should NOT have been on the table when a simple Shock Wave Lithotripsy was enough (again after over a month) to elevate a large amount of discomfort for the patient.
